Supporting Wigan businesses
Wigan is a large town between Manchester and Liverpool with a strong manufacturing and logistics base. Its best-known employer is Heinz, whose factory at Kitt Green is one of the largest food factories in Europe, producing baked beans and soups for the UK and beyond. Food and drink manufacturing more widely, packaging and engineering all employ large numbers locally.
The M6 and M58 run through the borough, and distribution parks near the M6 junctions serve national retailers and logistics companies. Wigan town centre has been redeveloping around the Wigan Pier Quarter and the Galleries site. The borough also includes Leigh, Atherton, Hindley, Standish and Ashton-in-Makerfield, each with its own small businesses, trades and retailers. Wigan & Leigh College provides further and higher education.
Manufacturing and food firms in Wigan need reliable production and stock systems, servers backed up off site and networks that stay up across large sites. Food businesses often face audits from retailers and certification bodies, and those audits increasingly include questions about IT security and data integrity. Logistics companies need scanner and printer support, warehouse Wi-Fi and fast account setup for agency staff. The borough's many small firms, from builders to hair salons, want help with websites, booking systems, email and Google Business Profile so customers can find them on Google Maps.
Wigan's position also makes it a sensible base for firms that sell across the whole North West, so many local businesses depend on staff working from vans, depots and home. Laptops and phones managed through Intune, files in OneDrive or SharePoint, and MFA on every account make that kind of mobile working safer.
